Insomnia

Late at night…while you’re all at rest.

I lay in bed..eyes open…

Hands crossed on my chest.

Thoughts race my mind…

My waters run deep…

And as I…continue to look at the time

And think…

I watch the light seep

Around the edges of my…

Black out curtains.

No one knows…

No one knows what I…

Do with my time.

Confined, to this bed at night

With my eyes… open.

I…

Allow for my thoughts to travel to places

Where you wouldn’t meet me.

I think deeply.

Familiar faces as I dream..

With my eyes wide open.

Hoping…

My eyes will give in and start closing.

So I can get proper rest.

My mind pushes my body to its limit

Because, even if I’m tired

It’s never finished.

Thinking of my days and things

I witness.

Counting time…

I’m awake, and my mind…

Races….

Insomnia….Is, taking…

It’s toll.

And my thoughts are payment.

Give me rest..

My mind needs a break.

So I can have the energy

To conquer my day.

But my thoughts don’t let me sleep.

Insomnia..

You’re starting to get the best of me.
